Are you aware that you can seamlessly cancel a friend request on Facebook? I’m writing about that friend request you have already sent out. Well, the good news is that any Facebook request can be canceled before the account owner accepts or rejects it.

Luckily for you, it is very possible to quickly cancel friend requests before individuals accept or reject them. And it can happen on your PC or smartphone. See How To Cancel A Friend Request On Facebook With Your PC Or Smartphone:
